PREFACE.
IT is almost universally acknowledged, among learned men, that the
definitions in Johnson's Dictionary are superiour to all others ; and it
is also conceded, that Walker's pronunciation is, with few exceptions,
the proper standard. A Dictionaiy, in which the excellences of these
•two authors are combined, must, therefore, be the best adapted to the
present state of the English language.
A very valuable work has been executed on this plan, and lately
published in Boston. It is entitled " Johnson's and Walker's English
Dictionaries combined," and contains all the words which have been
added to Johnson's Dictionary by Dr. Todd. The following Abridge-
ment of this work, in the preparation of which the Editor has been
materially assisted by Dr. Rees' Abridgement of TodtVs Johnson, will
be found to contain a very copious selection of words ; and it has been
a leading object to give the definitions and notation with great plain-
ness and accuracy.
The Appendix of Americanisms will assist the scholar in detecting
the words in common use, which are not well authorized, and will
show liim the difference between English and American usage.
iv PREFACE.
The Principles of Pronunciation, which follow this Preface, are
selected almost entirely from Walker's Dictionary. It is not common
to study these Principles in our schools ; and, hence, Dictionaries are
very imperfectly understood. The Editor earnestly recommends that
they should be studied thoroughly and frequently by every scholar
who can understand them j and that teachers should require them
to be apphed to every lesson from the Dictionary.
To render these Principles intelligible and interesting, and to im •
press them on the memories of pi-pils, they are accompanied in this
Abridgement witli suitable Questions. These will be found a valua-
ble improvement ; and it is Loped that, on the whole, this Dictionary
for Schools possesses more excellences, and fewer faults, than any that
has been offered to the publick.
